Baby's First Birthday!
 
The last update I did on Isabelle, or as she is now know, Belle, was way back when she was three months old.
She has changed so much, obviously!
 
She has been walking since shortly before she turned ten moths, says a few words here and there and has the attitude of Grammy award winning Diva! She's bloody fantastic.
 
Her first birthday was a lovely day, a quiet one spent with family and a few close friends, just as we wanted it to be.
She was of course, absolutely spoilt and our living room resembles a pink toy shop! I LOVE it!!
 

 
We had a lovely, small tea party for her, she was completely overwhelmed and a bit confused I feel, but she loved playing with her little friends and paying hide and seek!
 
 
 
As is the norm with me I went totally over the top with décor, I went with baby pink and gold as our theme, Belle had no idea and with the exception of the 60 balloons around the house noticed nothing! I wasn't bothered though, i think at one most things a parent does like this are for them, for the memories, of which I now have copious amounts.
 
 
I loved her outfit, and spent weeks putting it together, i am of course supposed to think so but in my opinion, she looked like a perfect tutu wearing princess!
 

 
I have loved completely immersing myself in her over the past 12 months, but as she gets older and enjoys more independent play.....and less time on my boobies i'm excited to get back to my blog, I hope to grow my little ramblings into a fun and exciting community.
So, please check back for more posts in the very near future!
 
Much Love

Happy Wednesday! 

As I'm sure most of you know, today is International Woman's Day.
 
A day I've always been aware of, but never really taken the time to think about, this year though, as I've sat feeding my very own woman of the future, I've thought about the women around me I admire, I realised none of them are famous or doing huge things to change the world, they're just women and all mothers.

 
Firstly, my best friend Tania, a mother of five, two of whom are just a few months apart in age, her eldest son suffered a stroke late last year, so she is juggling his rehab, two babies, a teenager and a 9 year old, she is always immaculate - as is her house, she's an amazing wife and in all honesty the best, best friend anyone could hope for. I've never know anyone hold their shit down the way she does, she is. AMAZING.
 
Secondly, my Mother In Law, the reason I have my family. She raised her son to be the wonderful man I call my husband, my Father In Law passed away when Steve was just 13, so the man he is really is down to her, I am great-full beyond words.
 
Next is a friend I was once very close to, we lost touch but have recently made contact again. When I was having my sons she was having issues with fertility, it must have been so hard for her to be around me as I had my children, she never made this apparent though and was always very excited for me. She has worked for years in a role helping young people, making a real impact in her local community. she has recently let me know she and her husband have adopted a child, a lovely little girl.
My heart is full of love and joy for her as she begins a new adventure.
 
Finally, two women who are to thank for me! My grandmothers, one unfortunately no longer with us but someone I talk about and think of all the time, both strong women who I respect and love hugely x
 
I only hope to be just a little bit as amazing as all of these women, and that in turn I too will raise a strong woman, as well as two men who will allow the women in their lives to be strong and understand women are equal.
 
 
 So, that's my first post in about a million years done!

Thank you for reading,

Much Love
